Empowerment of women

​

The extent of empowerment of women in the national hierarchy is determined largely by the three factors – her economic, social, and political identity and their weightage. These factors are deeply intertwined and interlinked with many cross-cutting linkages which imply that if efforts in even one dimension remain absent or weak, outcomes and momentum generated by the other components cannot be sustained as they will not be able to weather any changes or upheavals. It is only when all the three factors are simultaneously addressed and made compatible with each other can the woman be truly empowered. Therefore for holistic empowerment of the woman to happen - social, economic, and political aspects impacting a woman’s life must converge effectively.
